Australia has announced its final team for the T20 World Cup. Explosive young opener Jack Fraser-McGurk and all-rounder Matthew Short will travel with the team to the USA and West Indies for the T20 World Cup 2024. The board has included both these players in the team as traveling reserves.

However, these players will not be part of the initial 15-man squad unless a player is ruled out of the tournament due to injury or other reason. Cricket Australia has announced the final team and the board has not made any changes in the 15-member team. Jack Fraser-McGurk can also be seen as a replacement for David Warner.

David Warner was not seen playing in the second phase of IPL 2024 because he has a bone injury in his left hand. If he is not fit in time, Fraser-McGurk can be included in the team in place of Warner. At the same time, all-rounder Matthew Short may get a place in the final 15 if any all-rounder gets injured.

Let us tell you that the Australian Cricket Board had earlier decided to send spinner Tanvir Sangha with the team as a traveling reserve, but he got injured just before the start of the tournament. In such a situation, his plan to go to USA and West Indies got cancelled. Considering the explosive performance Fraser-McGurk had given in the IPL, his place in the playing XI of the T20 World Cup was considered confirmed.
